Aim of the learning journey

Explain a tool by its rules, not by a slogan. This bicycle is public, grey, and strict. The card was written by Marta. She counts the helmets.

Text written for this class

The grey bicycle at dock 6 is a tool, not a tour. Here is how it works, from the card on the handlebar.

You need the city card, not an app. Hold the card on the black panel until you hear one beep, not two. Two beeps mean the bike is already out to someone else. Pull the bike out before the light turns red: you have eight seconds.

The lock is on the back wheel. It opens only at a dock.

If you leave the bike against a tree, the fine is 15 euros, even if you come back in five minutes. A flat tyre is not your job.

Walk the bike to the next dock and press the red button. A van comes before 7 pm.

After 7 pm the button does nothing until morning.

Maximum ride: 45 minutes. At minute 40 the bell rings once.

At minute 45 it rings three times and the wheel lock waits for the next dock. Helmets are in the yellow box.

There were four yesterday at 8 am. At 8.20 there were none.

Marta, who wrote the card, says: do not invent a fifth helmet.

Reading and questions

Three questions

What do one beep and two beeps mean, and how many seconds do you have before the light turns red?
What is the fine if the bike stays against a tree, and what does the red button do after 7 pm?
When does the bell ring, and why does Marta say not to invent a fifth helmet?

Signal	What you do
One beep	pull the bike, eight seconds
Two beeps	this bike is already out
Bell at minute 40, then 45	find a dock before the wheel locks

Marta wrote the card. The fifth helmet is the example of a fact you must not invent.
